White Chalet Socks

comments: I showed considerable strength of character and finished my white socks during the last week. Regia Silk is a very nice yarn and the socks are beautiful, but they are just not me. I prefer a less busy pattern I guess.

I found the Chalet Socks pattern easier than the Bayerische socks (which I started but then ripped as I found them too fiddly) but all those tiny cables knitted through back loop are very time-consuming. I made a small mistake in the center cables but you can hardly notice it. I made the leg a bit shorter (I convinced myself that i might run out of yarn, but I think it was pure laziness!). I switched the k2,p2-ribbing to 1x1 twisted rib, and I do prefer it.

Lovely, lovely! You're such a Project Spectrum super-star!! And LOVE the Wollmeise in the pinks. Want! That!

I got your package today... Woo-hoo! I have my super-excited face on today. I'm thrilled with the Wollmeise. Though I should never have laid fingers on this stuff, as I now feel a growing addiction to it. I hope you get your goodies soon!!
